just out of curiousity, the lines that are running across the whole lip will be all smooth out, right?

will the lip stick out a little from the bumper? Give it a little stagger look?

Or will it be flush?

I hope it's flush, i don't think it would look right otherwise.

is it too late to make a small modification request??? it may be way out in left field but i think it will make the lip stand out a little more... or maybe not.

I got the idea from Dues and his custom front diffuser.

what about adding a small/thin diffuser under the lip. something like this:




Again i think it would make the lip stand out a little more... espeically in this pic of yours:



again, feel free to tell me to STFU and let edgar finish... i will understand... lol

The reason that diffuser looks so good is due to the angle of the stillen lip- slanted out leading to the diffuser. I don't think that would work for us here, However maybe you can think of some other suggestions for Max2damax, I agree it looks like the lip could have a bit more going on for it if you will!

I think this lip is really going to set off the front end for us! Personally I'm contemplating a flat black from the bottom of the bumper opening straight down to the bottom of the lip!

This is the final design, everything is pretty much ready to go, a semi final prototype should be ready by next weekend.

I pre-oredered the lip, so I qualify for the reduced priced and being one of the first ones shipped to.. this does not apply to the other 10 individuals who pre paid to assist in production. I must sell my spot on the list due to the fact that we are getting ready to be deployed... so what i will do is sell my spot for $100 being you will actually be getting the lip for 180... PM me for details and MAX i will talk to you as well...

yes, I dropped off the lip today at Angry Panda, the same shop that did Jsmith's bumper, so quality will be there, the only problem is that they are somewhat busy with other projects, they told me about a week to finish it, and about two to start on it. after that we still have the two month waiting before the actual lips arrive,

I know this project is way behind schedule, (about 2 months, going to 3 ) but as most of you know the first lip was scarified in order to have a slimmer cleaner lip, so that was a big waste of time and money but, you have to do what you have to do .

Ok, guys not really what I was hoping for, progress wise, but at least its getting done, I guess they have a show coming up this Saturday, and they are finishing a 350z they had there, with some crazy looking paint and kit, and just in case you are wondering there is only 2 guys working there :P, so you can say they are a small shop,
